Tomato Grid 2025

Tomato seedlings were in the ground on Wednesday. Every one of them survived until Thursday. So far I don’t need to use the extras I held in reserve. They need mulching, although I didn’t have the energy for it. Once mulched, I’ll install a tall fence to keep deer from easy access.

I harvested a passel of leafy greens and spent a couple hours in the kitchen cleaning them. Arugula, three kinds of lettuce, Pak Choi, two kinds of kale, and collards. In my early gardening days I didn’t give much thought to greens. Now, after working eight years on a farm, I couldn’t live without them.

In other news, Thursday night I rejoined the county Democratic central committee. No one else will do the work, so I will until I find someone else.

Editor’s Note: I managed to post every day during garden planting season. Some, like this one, are brief. I’m still distracted from writing by the garden.
